Study of BHQ880 in Patients With High Risk Smoldering Multiple Myeloma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study will assess the antimyeloma effects of BHQ880A in patients with smoldering multiple myeloma with high risk of progression to active multiple myeloma. BHQ880 will be administered every 28 days in previously untreated patients. Disease assessments will be performed monthly and effects on bone metabolism will be assessed by measurement of serum and urine bone biomarkers, changes in BMD , and QCT with FEA. Additionally, the PK profile of BHQ880 as a single agent and following multiple doses will be obtained.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Overall response rate (Complete Response + Partial Response + Minimal Response) of patients achieving an objective response (defined according to the IMWG uniform response criteria by the Frequency of response of serum or urine M-protein to BHQ880A [at 6 month]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Safety and tolerability of BHQ880 in patients with smoldering multiple myeloma by assessing AEs, SAEs, clinical laboratory values [From start of study until disease progression]
- Characterize the PK profile of BHQ880 as a single agent administered monthly by assessing BHQ880 levels in plasma [Throughout the study until disease progression]
- Evaluate the effect of BHQ880 on bone metabolism by assessing serum and urine bone biomarkers [Throughout the study until disease progression]
- Evaluate the effect of BHQ880 on bone mineral density by DXA scan and QCT [6 months and 12 months]
